TOM MASSON

at authorship He compromised some
what by developing into one of the
most systematic hardworking and
businesslike literary men In America
He does everything by the watch

he feels inspired or not and in this re
spect somewhat resembles the late An
thony Trollope who enjoyed telling a
story about a shoemaker he knew
This man when he went to work in
variably placed a bit of shoemakers
was on his bench and sat down on it
Every time he felt inclined to cease
pegging away and started to get up the
wax held him down thus reminding
him that industry was what was need
ed In this world And genius said
Trollope is only another name for
shoemakers wax

MENZ AND HIS DEVIL
Detroit Man nnd Image He Set Up In
His Yard
A few centuries ago Herman Menz
who has erected a statue of Satan in
his front yard in Detroit would have
been burned at the stake By making
a martyr of the old gentleman who can
find nothing better to worship than his
Satanic majesty the authorities would
have raised him to an importance he
is not now likely to receive His statue
of the devil has been treated for the
most part as a harmless sculptural
freak though when it was first un
veiled and was seen to be draped in
American flags the indignation aroused
by such a use of the emblem of civic
liberty was such that the old man de
cided to remove the flags and leave
only a ribbon of red white and blue
around Old Nicks neck The church
- rrm
HERMAN MENZS STATUE OF THE DEVHi
people of Detroit agreed that Menz and
his devil would prove but a nine days
wonder and that the incident was not
worth treating seriously The small
boys of the vicinity however soon dis
covered that Satan made an excellent
target for stones and other missiles
and to protect it from injury or de
struction the police had to guard it
Menz is an infidel and comes of a
family of Infidels He was born in Ger
many has lived in this country for
over a score of years and is a stone
mason He built with his own hands the
house In which he and his family live
and adorned it with queer heads The
monument which has created such a
sensation is fourteen feet high and the
evil one is represented standing behind
a sort of pulpit with his tail coiled
archly over his shoulder Menz charges
visitors an admission fee of 10 cents
per capita-
The Work Ahead
FOR THE
Coming Congress
opening of congress gives tho
country a new topic of discus
sion and signs are not lacking
that the coming session will bo
In many respects a lively one Although
the Republicans have a large majority
In both branches of congress there Is a
prospect that matters will come up for
consideration upon which the members
of the majority party are not wholly
agreed so that there will be a chance
for the development of new factional
alignments and unprecedented political
situations New issues have recently
come to the front In respect to which
party lines have not been strictly
drawn Among the topics which will
be uppermost in debate will be railroad
rate legislation the work of construct
ing the Panama canal federal supervi
sion of Insurance companies tariff re
vision limitation of representation
from southern states on account of al
leged suppression of the colored vote
admission of new states and matters
connected with the Insular possessions
of the United States The leading place
will be taken by the subject of railroad
rate legislation The house of repre
sentatives passed a bill on this subject
last winter but the senate adjourned
without taking action on It This being
a new congress the matter must be
taken up again from the beginning and
It is the plan of the advocates of rail
road rate legislation in the house to
pass a new bill on the same lines as
that of the last session but somewhat
more explicit They hope to get this
bill through early in the season and
thus give the senate no excuse for in
action on the ground of insufficient
time to consider the matter
The Fifty ninth congress is composed
largely of old members old that is to
say in the sense of having already seen
congressional service There are 38G
men in the house of representatives
and 290 of these or 75 per cent have
pwwywwipwiwfwMwiiiiiyt
SPEAKEB JOSEPH O CANNON
occupied seats in the chamber before
The percentage in the last congress
was 60 Fifteen states are represented
in the Fifty ninth congress by the same
men who represented them in the Fifty
eighth congress Among the new men
in the senate are James A Hemenway
of Indiana Frank B Brandegee of
Connecticut and Robert Marion La Fol
lette of Wisconsin Mr Hemenway
took the seat vacated by Senator Fair
banks when he became vice president
The new member from Indiana is re
garded as one of the ablest legislators
at Washington and has the advantage
of a long antl busy service in the house
of representatives to aid him in becom
ing a leading figure among the senators
Senator Brandegee who succeeds the
late Senator Orville H Piatt has also
served in the house He has the dis
tinction of being the youngest member
of the new senate and as he has quite
a reputation as an orator is expected
to become a figure on the floor of the
senate chamber Another new senator
from New England Is W Murray
Crane
Speaker Cannon is likely to be the
same dominant figure In the house of
representatives of the Fifty ninth con
gress that he was in the Fifty eighth
Though he prefers to be considered an
easy boss his rule over the house is
none the less firm He often carries
his points without creating any ill feel
ing because of his love of humor and
command of wit and homely Illustra
tions One of the questions on which
Speaker Cannon differs from some of
his Republican colleagues Is that of
the tjfriff He does not believe In re
vision I am not in favor of hanging
the country up by the tail was the
way he put it in referring to the sub
ject recently Asked to explain his
ideas on this head more fully he de
scribed the disturbances to industry
which he thought would follow any ef
forts In the direction of tariff revision
and added We used to swing dogs
by the tail when we were boys It
must have been a very uncomfortable
sensation for the dog It would be just
as uncomfortable a sensation for this
great country and by Jove I am not
one to sit quietly by and see It at
tempted
A new member of the house who at
the same time is an old member Is Gen
eral J Warren Kelfer once speaker
who after years of absence has been
returned to congress from Ohio
TO RULE BY GOLDEN RULE
Brand Whltlock Who Inherits the
Late Mayor Jones Mantle
Ohio like Indiana bids fair to be
come famous for the number of Its au
thors in politics One of these Is tho
mayor elect of Toledo Brand Whlt
lock who is aiding Mayor Tom John
son to round up the reform sentiment
of the Buckeye State In the conference
of mayors elect called at Cleveland
Mr Whltlock Is the author of The
Thirteenth District Her Infinite Va
riety and other stories and he Is the
man upon whom the mantle of Golden
Rule Jones has fallen He was born
at Urbana In 1809 and Is the son of a
minister the Rev Ellas D Whltlock
He studied law at Springfield 111 and
there got an insight into politics The
political atmosphere In which he found
himself at the Illinois state capital was
MAYOR ELECT BRAND WHITLOCK OP TO
LEDO
responsible for his turning aside from
the practice of law upon his entrance
to the bar and engaging in newspaper
work instead In which he won a repu
tation as a writer on political subjects
He took up story writing In connection
with journalism and it was in this way
that he brought out in 1901 his most
famous work The Thirteenth Dis
trict a stirring novel of politics
A few years ago Mr Whitlock en
tered upon the practice of the legal pro
fession in Toledo His Interest in the
kind of politics represented by the late
Mayor Samuel M Jones led him to
support that successful reformer with
enthusiasm He was one of the most
trusted friends of the Golden Rule
mayor When the latter died the cor
poration and machine politicians sup
posed that the rule of the Golden Rule
in Toledo was at an end and stocks of
public service corporations took a boom
But Toledo had learned well the les
sons taught by the dead mayor and In
the last election the novel writing law
yer who had been nominated on a
Golden Rule platform rallied the Inde
pendents to his support and was swept
into office by a large majority
